Can I log in to my modem from a remote location?

I think it's possible, but you're going to have to have remote access set up on your home computer, and you'd have to use something like VNC to do it (due to not having a static IP). Then you'd have to remotely access the home computer to be able to access the modem's information pages. It's convoluted, but I believe this is the only way it could work.
If you're asking about a simple way to just remotely access the modem's information pages through the internet, then no, as the only way to access it is through a device directly connected to it, whether via an Ethernet cable or WiFi, hence the need to remotely access the computer directly connected to it.
If someone else knows a way I'm sure they'll reply.
thank you. I ask because I travel a lot for my job and need to make sure that when I come home to work from home, I still have data left (assuming the speed issues improve).
If all you need to do is check your usage status, you can check it on your account web page from anywhere.

While that's true for the overall data usage, it's not going to show her what's connected. Still, even the modem pages aren't going to show her how much data each device is using. Only a good 3rd party router with applicable software/firmware can do that. Well, that and/or some type of data monitoring software, like Glasswire, installed on each device.

Right, but she's looking for something to look at when not at home, and just to see if there's data left.

That's not what I got from her opening post, but yes, she'll be able to do that.
What I got was that, while away, she wants to be able to see what is connected, or was connected, and how much data each of those things used. And to make sure that she still has some data when she gets home, which she'll be able to see from going online.
Edit: And I completely missed her reply to my post that alluded to what you stated.
